At St. Paul's Holy Communion is administered at stations, to which you will be guided by one
of our ushers. As you approach the Altar, our Lord's Body, under the form of the Bread, will be placed in your
hand - usually by one of the Pastors - and you will hear: "The body of Christ, given for you." Since we administer the
precious Blood of our Lord from either a "pouring chalice" or a "common chalice" - if you choose to have this given to you
from the pouring chalice you will pick up a small empty glass to be filled by one of the Communion assistants; if
you wish to receive from the common chalice (the historic practice commanded by our Lord) then you will go to the communion
assistant who has this Cup. We know there are some who have alcohol sensitivities - and for them several
glasses are already filled with grape juice, and these are in the same trays as the empty glasses. Although it is rare, Holy
Communion will occasionally be administered by a method known as intinction (the consecrated host [a small
round piece of unleavened bread] is dipped by the pastor into the chalice and then given to you). If you wish to take communion
but are unable to walk to the front of the church, just notify the usher, and the pastor will bring the Sacrament of Holy
Communion to you.
